Here’s what Ofsted have to say: “The purposeful and caring leadership of the Principal and SLT have created a strong academy identity and a positive ethos shared by all members of the community. The strength of leadership is recognised without exception by the academy’s staff. Students’ behaviour is good, the atmosphere in lessons is calm and studious and attitudes to learning are routinely positive as students want to learn. Students are hugely proud of their academy, they wear their blazers and ties smartly, do not drop litter and look after the modern, purpose-built site impeccably. They stand without instruction when any adult enters a classroom.”

Teacher Testimonial: “Having worked in London schools for over 12 years and overseas for a couple of years, I hadn’t really considered a move to Luton. There is something about the diversity of London schools, both culturally and socially that I love and I genuinely didn’t think that this would be replicated unless I working in another big city. The opportunity to work at Chalk Hills Academy came up and after looking at the website and Ofsted report, I decided to apply and have been here since January 2017. Chalk Hills Academy and The Shared Learning Trust (this is my first time working in a small academy trust) has certainly exceeded my expectations. Everything that I loved about working in London - diversity, atmosphere, forward thinking and generally wanting the best for all students is at Chalk Hills. In addition, working in a school that is part of a small multi-academy trust means that there are regular opportunities for collaborative working and partnerships. As well as the working environment, salary is always a consideration and I have been pleasantly surprised to find that there isn’t a great deal of difference between The Shared Learning Trust and an Inner London salary. I would unreservedly recommend Chalk Hills Academy, The Shared Learning Trust and Luton; have a look I am sure you will too will be pleasantly surprised!”
